[psycopanther]

first off i want to apologize if posting this in the correct section, i already posted it in another category and it needs to be deleted. so i dunno if this is in the correct category or not, but i have used pclinuxos before looking into opensuse. i have not installed suse yet because i am trying to download it as we speak (dvd version). however, teo questions that come to mind before i do this is

on pclinuxos, i remember a way to recreate (i think) a newer installation disk with everything on it that i had installed on the system. i.e. updates, games, etc. can this be done pretty easily on suse. i ask because my mom wants to go to linux (she likes the cute games on it and just watches movies with her latop) and i would just make a replica of my install to put on hers.

second question is, can i go ahead and download the broadcom drivers ahead of time and use them after install? i have the dell inspirion 1525 and only linux mint has ever picked it up and worked from the get go. i need to know this because i only have dial up access at home and i have never got the conexant modem to ever work with linux (maybe just me..). i get on local hotspots in town for majority of my internet and dont have a place to go for a hard line.

thats all the questions for now..
